What Bourbon Are You Drinking? Summer 2009

[Hondo]

I'm enjoying some OGD 114 this evening... this is my first bottle of this. Its extremely good. I'll have to keep some of this on hand at all times now!

Be careful! I just broke my OGD114 cherry a few days ago and woke up with half a 750 and a blurry recollection of biscuit heavenly flavors!

Few sips of baby saz finishing up paintings at work, then came home to a movie and some Lot B.

[Special Reserve]

My taste buds and liver are at war!

I like that comment. And the winner is...

[jburlowski]

Last night it was ETL... in honor of his birthday.

[George]

Having another pour of EC12, and man, I'm really enjoying it.

We're getting ready to head out for dinner, so I'm starting out with an '05 Saz 18. Now, that's what I call a finish! This baby lingers, and lingers, and lingers, and lingers, and lingers...

I love whiskey with a long finish. I like the Saz 18 I just wish it wasn't so stinkin much. I think last years bottles here in VA cost $70.

I'm trying without much success in finding a WV liquor store that will special order the BTAC for me. WV ABC charges $42 a bottle.

Wow! $42 a bottle. I know it's 8 years away, but I'm going to have to start to look at Marshall as a nice college to send my daughter to.

Just returned from dinner. First pour is a WT 12 yr. Split Label. The Turkey 12's really are a terrific pour after a big meal.

No bourbon, Rittenhouse BIB and Crown Royal for me. Packing 50ml bottles of OGD 86 for travel - only good as mixer, I despise this stuff. Even 4yo Setter is more palatable. Are OGD 100 and 114 really so much better? Or did I get a bad bottle?

[OscarV]

Started with 4R Mariage neat before and after dinner, btw grilled lamb rib cutlets.

Then later on switched to 4R yellow label over cracked ice.

Weekends are so nice.

[Luna56]

Started with a small pour of WR, now on to some ERSB. The WR is a quality whiskey but the ERSB is just loaded with character and depth. More wood, leather, more everything.

Cheers!

[Lost Pollito]

VOB BIB...out of the bottle...straight ...just after moving up 3 freakin floors to the new apartment. Moving sucks!!!

[DeanSheen]

Last night it was Weller 12 Binnys and Lot B

Tonight it's RITT BIB and Handy.

[nor02lei]

Boones Knoll 16 years (Michters) before dinner today, ORVW 10/107 with the soft almond cake for dessert and Stagg 08 right now.

Leif

[ThomasW]

W.L. Weller Special Reserve for me.

Just love Weller!:bowdown:

[ILLfarmboy]

had a couple glasses of ORVW 10 107 while cooking BBQ chicken, well one while cooking and one while eating. It went really well with the BBQ chicken and the steakhouse recipe Bush's beans.

ORVW 10 107 always goes well with BBQ.

[tommyboy38]

Last night I enjoyed some BT SB and EW 7/90

[JamesW]

ER 10/90, nice for the $21 price tag. Had some WT101 which was better, more complex and now knocking the socks off both with some Stagg 2008.

[callmeox]

FRSB after a wonderful Cleveland Orchestra performance at Blossom Music Center. The theme was sci-fi television and movie themes and George Takai was the narrator. Fantastic show.

[OscarV]

Old Fitzgerald BIB, neat.

I've had this bottle for 13 months now, had a couple from it and did not care for it.

In another thread here on SB.com recently it was brought up in comparison to Buffalo Trace's wheated bourbons.

So I remembered it and thought I'd try it out today.

OK, it is dense like all of Parker's bourbons.

It's been said that Parker makes his bourbon not to be consumed neat, (as told to me by Heaven Hill's tour guide).

I have not added any water to it yet and I must say that it is more reminiscencent of a ryed bourbon.

Lots of mint and herbal flavors. None of the sweet carmel and toffe that you get from BT's wheated bourbons.

Now then, remember when the first Parker's Heritage Collection came out?

Which of course is a ryed bourbon but some very astude tasters here thought it was a wheater, I also picked up on some of those wheater type flavors.

So, to sum up, Parker can make a ryed bourbon that taste like a wheater and vice versa.:bigeyes:

Weller Cent followed by Handy.

Both had one pour left and are now gone. I nursed the hell out of that Handy, I think it was open for at least three months. So sad, on both counts.
